sometimes i'm feeling lazy, sometimes i'm kinda late
sometimes i like to sit back, relax and procrastinate
but i dont just sit around, there are things i create
i call it free time, well...it's free time that's kinda fake

dont have any time to burn, but somehow i have plenty
i gotta lot of work to do, and i didn't do any
can always count on my friends to spend a pretty penny
why cant i be rambling about girls and making money?

speaking of money, i dont got enough
when tuition aint affordable, it's making it though
all i got in my wallet is credit cards and stuff
i need to go find me a diamond in the rough

gotta think, gotta scheme, gotta figure out how to make more
maybe i can stop shopping at those expensive stores
or maybe i can sell my body and become a man whore
ah shit, i still have that midterm i gotta study for

wanted to hang out saturday night with my oldschool peepz, but then they started mumbling bout needing to do their homework and stuff....psh. so it was just me and denise that night. but even she was going through some issues that the time, so i asked if she wanted to talk about it or forget about it. she told me she wanted to forget about it for now. and i think the best way to forget about something is to remember something else. so we sat and reminicsed about our high school days. and then i remembered going to homecomings with her. i thought it'd be cool to reenacted those nights.

we started things off with gameworks. she beat me hard in table hockey. but it's all good, cuz i schooled her in ddr. i almost broke my ankles though needing to use so much style points against her. now all hot and sweaty we went to SBK2 for some karaoke. it was hella funny watching denise do her figurative dancing while i saranaded her. yeah and i learned that just cuz 2 ppl can sing good, doesn't mean they can harmonize. ended the night at sharri's. it's been awhile since i stayed out pass 4 and come back hecka tired. we over-stayed our welcome at the resturant, so it was time to say peace out.

i bet u wanted to reading about my dim sum day with my ischool friends. well too bad. i plan on reading all sixteen chapters i'm behind before the midterm. so no blogging until i'm done...although jamie's orange theme is making me a bit jealous. so do expect my xanga getting a face lift.

who needs cupid's arrows this valentine's day when you have poems by david. got something to say? well i can make it rhyme. dont know what to say? dont worry, i can put words in your mouth. poems by david are garunteed to make your girl say, "i want to make love to you right now and video record it." and to pay tribute to this grand opening, david has given his xanga page a valentine's day theme. could look prettier, but i really should get back to my studying...

a lot of random stuff i wanna talk about today, and i'm too lazy to make separate entries. so here i go:

1) for all those that are thinking about requesting me to write poems, just know that i required 3 days to produce something i'm proud of. sure i can make up something in an hour, but it wont be at the quality i want it at. also, to personalize it, make sure you specify any kinda hidden meaning and what emotion should go with it. for example, the hidden message is "i want to make love to you right now and video record it" and the poem is to be read in a humorous tone.

2) i met zia today for lunch. it's kinda funny how i know that guy so i thought i'd tell yall. back in high school, i used to work as a sears telemarketer. zia was in the new training class right after mine. since we were the youngest working there, we'd hang out together during lunch. i quit that job cuz it sucked, but when i needed some money, i went to eddie bauer doing catalog sales. when i was back on the phones again, i was hella surprised to see zia there. well eddie bauer laid us all off after the holidays. they said that nordstorm has a calling center that's hiring, but i was done with that kinda work. so it was weird seeing zia at uw today, he told me he's a freshman and currently working at nordstorm's calling center. XD

3) discover card sent me checks i could use to to put stuff on my card. so i decided to pay tuition with it since there wont be a convience fee if i write a check. but it turns out the max i can write the check for is half the credit i have, so the check bounced. i called up discover to see how i can deal with this. they refunded me the fee and did a balance transfer instead, so i got to breathe a sigh of relief. everything was cool, until i saw that uw tried to cash that check again...too bad their offices are close for the weekend.

4) yeah i started to clean up my credit cards. already closed my bon macy's and gonna close my discover once i get that all cleared up. and when my sony card switches banks, i'm gonna merge it with my platinum card. and i opened up a new platnium card with bank of america...damn their sexy APR. and hopefully i'll be sure to anticipate me needing to pay for my own tuition this time, and be ready for that.

here's my line up for this week:

tuesday - midterm in info311
wednesday - cse373 project due
thursday - info341 lab 4 due
friday - presentation in info344
saturday - relax? have fun?

yeah i know i'm not in cse373, but i do need to make sure my tutees are turning in something sexy, that's what a tutor's job is. so how did i start my weekend preparing for the line up?

well in terry's class i have a project i need to present, and i haven't even started on the project yet. also in terry's class i needed to keep a diary of everything i've done for him to grade. but i couldn't just do a copy and paste my partner's diary entries on my website, no that's too lame. so i decided to read up on php and mysql. after reading and getting a good idea of what i wanted, i started to code it in notepad. but that got kinda annoying, and so i went online to look for a new proggie i could develop in.

i wanted something that'll help me with my php, but if i was going to develop websites, i also wanted css support. and since i'm alreadying using macromedia flash mx, i thought i'd add dreamweaver to my suite. but i wanted to make sure i really wanted to use that. so instead of downloading the trial version right away, i watched some video demos of the product. after watching the designers/developers brag about how awesome dreamweaver is, i decided to download it.

the funny thing is that i kinda finished the code while it was downloading. the even funnier thing is that what i'll do on my "break" is start coding for lab 4. is that considered geeky or nerdy?

so for my "break" instead of doing my coding i went to chantana's going away party. he's leaving for the airfoce today, and what better way to spend last night than to a CS lan party. i didn't play, cuz i knew if i did, i wouldn't leave for awhile. i felt bad but i had to ditch early to get started on my project.

back at home i started doing my lab 4. even though it was programming, i didn't bump my techno. prolly because i wanted to read up on sockets first. but before i could read, i had to look for more homework music. i found me some FF piano collections and some stuff from kenshin ova. the sucky thing was that all that kenshin music made me all sleepy...

met up with the rufino, sandra, and kathryn to study for the 311 midterm. tho showed up later to see what we were up to, and he ended up not getting a whole lot done. but enuff. anyway, me and tho walked sandra to the bus stop and here's a lil conversation we had after she got off her cell.

david: so was that your boyfriend?
sandra: yeah, he wanted to talk to me for a bit
david: so did you tell him that you were busy with school?
sandra: no, i told him the truth.
david gives blank stare
tho: that's good
sandra: yeah, i told him that some guys were nice enough to hang out with me while waiting for the bus, and i couldn't just ditch em.
david: whoa...
sandra: i have an honest relationship.
david: yeah i know, and i respect that.

the point is that i felt weird. i mean why did i assume that she needed to make up some excuse of why she couldn't talk to her boyfriend. why did i assume that it would've been better to insert a white lie instead of telling the truth. i mean, i know i'm not honest with myself, but dayam. it's like finding something you've given up looking for a long time ago.

as i'm slowly making way through this supposed week of hell, i realized that my life is unfair. i mean i kinda studied for my info exams, well more like hung out with my ischool friends and tried to studied, but had more fun goofing off. when i took the exam, it wasn't has hard as i expected it to be. there was lab 4 that was due tomorrow, but it got pushed back a week.

i thought i'd be stressed out with me having two jobs and all. but at the elementary school, i just sit around checking my email all day, and maybe doing school work. and as for tutoring...last night it was me, jamie, sandra, rufino, and kathryn all lined up giving each other massages (rufino is weak at giving massages).

i mean this is totally unfair. but then again, i haven't heard from info311 or angie yet. and tina did win the xbox instead of me. but still...

i have a lot on my mind right now. at least that what it feels like, but when i count, it's really only two and a half things. so what am i thinking about? well i'll let you guys guess. i'll quote dilbert to sum things up, "the definition of insanity is: doing the same thing and expecting a different result"

everytime i fall asleep in class...
i always dream about your big, round... eyes...

i woke up this president's day morning to the sound of rain pouring outside. i'm really glad i got to take advantage of yesterday's weather. a lot as happened yesterday...and i think i've fallen in love...let me tell you what happened:

it all started out with jamie trying to convince me and the rest of the guys to go boating. it looked pretty crappy when i looked outside, and i knew that being near water just makes me colder. so she said that we could all meet and figure out something to do. on my way there, the sky started clearing up, which was a nice sign.

by the time i got on campus, nobody was ready. apparently everybody was busy IM-ing eachother half naked. with jamie in her jammies, i was there helping her pick out something nice to wear for today. four outfits and a lot of scented lotion later, we were off to go pick up anthony. we didn't get to dress him up. when we got to ryan's place, we got to dress him up. tho and rufino didn't come with us today cuz they had better friends to hang out with.

well anyway, since the weather cleared up we decided to go canoeing. i called dibs and ryan first, and jamie got stuck with anthony. we paddled around and touched the 520 bridge, and then we wanted some peace and quiet so went out to the middle of the lake. well at least ryan and i started heading towards the center of the lake, but anthony and jamie went closer and closer to the bridge. and whenever ryan and i would start an intimate conversation, freakin jamie would call and ruin the mood. here some pix:

here is the couple that cant swim
here is the cute couple in iuga

here's jamie xanga about it

damn, this is gonna be a long blog...alright i'll skip the 'meeting jamie's parents' part then. umm, yeah so i had to ditch the ischool peeps to goto julie's 19th bday party. when i went downstairs, i saw all the guys there playing their video games and talkin about going to shoreline to play some ball. then i went upstairs and saw all the girls there just chillaxin'. chatted with julie and them for a bit, then went down to check on the guys, and they were all gone. went back upstairs and talked bout how it was like "back in the good ol' days". my little sister was lookin bored so i decided to take her home.

i gotta call from my friends and they were playing naruto at justin's and they needed me. when i got there, they surprised me with 2 more controllers which meant four player battle royal. somewhere within the five hours of gameplay that night i started falling in love with the girls. there's ino, the button mashing goddess, using her sex appeal to defeat her foes. sakura, the fastest star thrower ever, that anybody'd want by their side. and finally hinata, the juggler, who's finesse mesmerizes the opponent. it's been awhile since i've felt these butterflies in my stomach.

a lot of small thigns i wanna blog about, but dont wanna make separate entries for each:

at julie's bday party, i just found out that there's three more babies queued up. i think i lost count after lala, so i'm hoping somebody will bust out a family tree soon. cept how would u make a scandelous family tree? hmm...capstone project...nah...

i finished lab 4. when the first telegraph messge was sent, morse said something cool like, "what hath god wrought?" when david's first udp message was sent, it went something like:

send: this better work dammit
received: can it also receive?
send: omg it works, w00000000000t!!!!!!!!!

i wonder what the first words would be if we land on mars.

go download the song "867-5309 (jenny)" by timmy tutone, have some good memories about that song, then goto ebay and buy it.

and for all those asian peeps for feel their losing their cultural identity, then you might want to eat at mcdonalds.

justin: hey man, i want to contract you for the imagination cup
david: what da hell is that?
justin: it's like a programming competition
david: so the cup is more like a trophy?
justin: yeah i need you for your ideas...and your dot net skills...and your pda
david: what do you need my pda for?
justin: well last year, this kid wrote a program for waiters to take orders with pdas and then it'll transfer that to a webserver in a kitchen where the chefs see it right away. he won the cup that year, and along with that came 12 job offers, and he sold his program to a company for $180,000. and yes, that's the correct amount of zeroes.
david: sounds too easy, so what are the requirements?
justin: gotta program using .net and for a mobile device. oh yeah, and you also gotta utilize a webservice, whatever that means.
david: cool, i've been doing that in class
justin: so i say we do something with blogs.
david: nah, if you wanna win, u gotta think big. do hospital personnel need to carry pdas for something?
justin: hell if i know...
david: well how bout i blog this and ask my friends for suggestions?

on friday i went to school to work on the extended lab. the stupid nfs server wont let root login. well anyway, after working on it for 7 hours, i got absolutely nothing done. my batteries were drained. luckily the asuw talent show was happening at the hub so i had an excuse to leave. i invited the whole ikrew, but everybody ditched me cept for jamie. and even she could only stay for a lil bit. but that was cool of her to take time out from whatever she was doing to come and chill with me. mental note: gotta buy that girl some caramel rumble at the mix. jamie's looooooooooong hug recharged my batteries and we slow danced under the stars ^_^

it was cool til justin had to come and ruin the mood. haha, j/k. yeah, i can always rely on justin to come and chill with me cuz he's always workin/procrastinating on his cse stuff. so we walked around the talent show and met a lot of ppl i haven't seen in awhile. i blame MGH for that. niecey's proformance let me on the edge of my seat. i didn't even know bodies could move like that. but it made me think, my only dancer friend is a girl, and she only teaches me girly moves...

on saturday, i was back in the lab. it's my home away from home and i was thinkin about sticking a mini fridge in there. but then i remembered that there's a fridge in the lounge. i got a lil bit more done that time with rufino helping me. we were working on the write up together and then chris and justin came to campus to rescue me from this lab. i told rufino to email the group the latest write up, and he attaches the oldest write up instead...i dont know what he reads first, his email or my blogs, so i thought i'd mention that.

chris is another friend that you can always count on. those two taught me how cool it is to be a computer geek. so us three had pho. were thinkin bout renting final fantasy crystal chronicles, but it turns out that each player needs a game boy advance if we wanna play multiplayer. lame. so instead we picked up james and went...driving. mental note: gotta confirm that my set up is chris-proof. yeah and we got bored after awhile and went back to blockbuster. rented scarface cuz none of us has seen it yet, and apparently that movie is just one of those movies that you gotta see. and damn skippy it is. i'm surprised that i was able to enjoy a movie that could be older than me. the bad news is that the movie was too long and we didn't get to watch versus. the good news is that it was a weekly rental.

currently watching: scarface

sunday...back in the te lab...cept this time i came to tutor some people on cse. the funny thing was that when i got there, they were all working on the extended lab. so i just sat around and worked on that too. denise IM'd me and invited me to go have lunch at a brazillian place up the ave. since nobody needed me, i stopped "tutoring" a couple hours early. invited justin to come with us, but he kept on making up excuses of why he cant make it. friggin justin, can never count on that guy to come out and play.

on the way there, denise was all telling me the history of some brazillian dish, and telling me why it's so awesome. i was getting all excited and stuff, til we got there. then i saw a big sign on the door that says, "new weekend hours, open after 5pm" >_< friggin denise, can always count on her to bring my hopes up for nothing.

so we ended up getting hawaiian bbq, and met up with jo and jack at zoe's. i was thinking that the mixed plate was a lil bit of everything, but really it was a lotta bit of everything. denise and i had an eating competition, and it was a fierce battle, but she beat me by a chicken strip.

yeah i couldn't find my swim shorts, so was gonna ditch the ikrew on sauna sunday. but then jamie and jules convinced me with their swim suits. heh, it was so nice though, not having anything on your mind - no labs, no projects, no jobs, no friends, no enemies, no worries. i'm not even gonna bother mentioning who else was there =P

finished the night at sheri's. two bites into my omlette made me realize that i'm still kinda full from the mixed plate earlier...XD mental note: gotta find friends that dont need to spend money to have fun.

so if you haven't been reading up on my blogs this past weekend, let me fill you in. friday, in the te lab workin on my extended lab. saturday, workin in the te lab. sunday, still in the lab. and now it's monday. and guess what?! started the day in the te lab...

haha, syke. well all the other days yeah i was in the te lab. but monday i was at home...still workin on the extended lab. but the important thing was that i didn't goto school today. well actually...i did goto campus, but not for lab...

IT'S JAMIE'S BIRTHDAY. happy 21st babes. yeah, today gave me an excuse to gel my hair. haha, i can hear my friends now, 'whoa...david doesn't just gel his hair for anybody...' i mean jamie's special and all, but really i just wanna show up ryan =P and friggin anthony! made plans to wear some annoyingly red dress shirts with me so we'd come in lookin all...flamboyant. but noooooooo, he just had to put on his cool calm grey, while i was the only one with the ricky martin red shirt. oh well, at least me and jules matched ~_^

saw "passion of christ" opening night. my recommendations? well, i wanted to watch it to find out what the story was all about. but the movie didn't explain anything, and assumed that you read the book already...

when it showed the ending credits, only a quarter of the people got up and left. i think the rest just stayed there and finished crying. rufino was ready to leave, but i was busy doing my 'after movie' stretches. i asked rufino if there's going to be a sequel to the movie, and he started laughing out loud. like really loud. then he looked up, and saw the teary eyed audience, and he felt like a jerk. hahaha. i'm such a punk.

i've been watching this weird ass anime called Paranoia Agent. it has a mood like lain, and some scary cut scenes like in the ring. the anime itself isn't scary, but it does have some disturbing scenerios. since i'm assuming nobody's gonna watch it, i wanna exaplin it here. technically it's a spoiler, but it's only the 3rd episode and there's nothing to spoil.

so check it out, there's this nice girl with the librarian image, working in the labs and tutoring kids. she's very shy and timid, but the nicest person in the world when you get to know her. lets name her chastity. but she also has an illness that's like multiple personality disorder. her alter ego is named maria, and at night time maria works as a prostitute specializing in the cosplay department. the freaky thing is that chastity and maria communicate with each other by leaving messages on their answering machine...yeah they dont like each other...

so anyway, here's my question: say you marry chastity without her telling you anything about maria (lets just say that she thought she was cured). but then one night you meet maria for the first time. would it be cheating if you slept with maria?
